Brothers' story begins when her family ran out of milk, so she and her two toddlers went to the store at 8 in the morning. One of her kids cried the entire time, while the other was causing a ruckus in the store. Throughout their time shopping, strangers glared at her.

She tried to handle peoples' stares, but the final straw was a man whispering, "She's pretty young for two kids." Brothers began to cry when the cashier handed her the receipt.

"They don't know me. They don't know me as a mother. They don't know my children," she wrote. "They don't know I was married before I started a family."

Furthermore, the strangers at the store did not know the reason she was alone. Brothers wrote, "They don't know I left that marriage because of abuse knowing I would have it just as hard as a single mother."
